Fairmont Grand Del Mar

FHRThe Edit

We had a wonderful stay at Fairmont Grand Del Mar with our family. There was a slight hiccup upon arrival, but Michelle from the Concierge team went above and beyond to make things right. Her attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine care were greatly appreciated and turned the situation into a positive experience. The resort itself is beautiful, and the family-friendly amenities were outstanding. We especially enjoyed the pools and the overall atmosphere, which made traveling with young children both easy and enjoyable. From the exceptional service to the wonderful amenities, our family hadChristine Chiang

Pendry is a stunning, luxurious hotel located in the heart of downtown, offering easy access to popular attractions, fine dining, and vibrant nightlife. It is an ideal choice for both business travelers and active visitors seeking comfort and convenience. Roman and Logan provided exceptional, attentive service with friendly smiles, ensuring every aspect of my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. My room featured large floor-to-ceiling windows with a breathtaking view of the bay, and it was impeccably maintained, always spotless.

The US Grant, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Diego

San Diego, California

FHRThe Edit

I’m pretty disappointed with our stay here. I specifically booked this hotel through the Chase Edit program because of the extra perks, but in the end I didn't receive any. I know the room upgrade is "subject to availability" and I did not receive one...but I’d even reached out to the concierge before our trip to ask for an upper floor. Instead, they put us on the absolute lowest guest floor possible. Also, the welcome amenity that was promised? Never showed up. The biggest issue was the $100 hotel credit and the breakfast benefit. The front desk flat out refused to honor them because I didn'tBart Pola

This stay was truly such a pleasant surprise for my husband and me. We were attending an event in San Diego and originally booked the hotel simply because of its convenient proximity to our venue — but it ended up becoming one of the highlights of the trip. As Lifetime Globalists with Hyatt, we’ve stayed at many Hyatt properties over the years, and this hotel genuinely stood out in how warmly they recognized our status and how well we were treated throughout our stay. The service felt welcoming, attentive, and sincere. The room itself had eclectic, fun decor with the artsy, modern vibe that AnAlways 5 Star

Catamaran Resort Hotel And Spa

San Diego, California

THC

This place is located in a convenient location with plenty of amazing restaurants nearby along with beaches and a decent size pool area. The grounds are beautiful and the kids enjoyed the parrots. The hotel is older and the rooms are on the smaller side so if you're able to look past that, it's a great vibe. The staff were super friendly especially the front desk and any worker we encountered were very polite and respectful. Also, they clean your room every single day and you get fresh towels. Some hotels only do it once or twice but they do a good job with daily cleaning and freshly stocked tNK

Alma San Diego Downtown, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

THCThe Edit

I have stayed in literally hundreds of 4 and 5-star accommodations across 6 continents over the last 4 decades. This beautiful little boutique hotel was one of my favorites, definitely one of my top 20. The reasons for this are easy to come by. First, the staff was incredibly welcoming and informative upon our arrival, second, the room was tastefully artistic without being over the top, a good size, spotlessly clean, with a very comfortable king sized bed (perhaps the most important feature. The fridge, Nespresso machine and complimentary waters are always a welcome touch. The windows were almCitronnelle PA

FHR in San Diego — FAQ

How many Fine Hotels + Resorts properties are in San Diego?

There are 12 luxury properties in San Diego bookable through a card collection — Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts, The Hotel Collection, Chase The Edit or Capital One Premier — this page shows the all 12. Each earns you perks like daily breakfast, a property credit and room upgrades on top of your room rate.

Which card gives the best hotel benefit in San Diego?

It depends on the property. Amex Platinum (FHR) adds daily breakfast, a ~$100 credit and 4pm checkout with no minimum stay. Chase Sapphire Reserve (The Edit) and Capital One Venture X (Premier) add similar perks with a two-night minimum. Many San Diego hotels appear in more than one collection, so book through whichever card gives you the richest credit.

Must I book a prepaid rate to trigger the property credit?

For Amex FHR, no — the on-property credit applies to any FHR-booked stay through Amex Travel. For The Hotel Collection and Chase's The Edit, book the standard collection rate through the card's own travel portal (not a third-party site) and the credit, breakfast and upgrade post automatically at checkout.

Do I need to log into Amex or Chase to see these hotels?

No. This page lists every participating San Diego property publicly so you can plan first. When you're ready to book, open a hotel's page for direct portal links.
